SDSU Growth Partnership emphasizing recruitment

BROOKINGS – During a quarterly report to the Brookings County Commission on Thursday, representatives of the SDSU Growth Partnership and its Innovation Campus said they are actively recruiting tenants and have multiple good prospects.

Jay Bender, chairman of the Growth Partnership board, appeared with Dwaine Chapel, new executive director of the Innovation Campus. Chapel read a formal thank-you note to the commission for its support over the years.

He then said though the campus has had no new tenants since his last report in July, his office is currently working with seven or eight “quantifiable leads.”
